Aggregators in Action!

An odd request: If you use a feedreader other than Bloglines (for example, Google Reader, or whatever else the kids are using these days), could you send me a screenshot of your aggregator doing its thing? Please make sure the active content is family-friendly and, er, preferably not my blog. The resulting image will be used for educational purposes, and you will remain anonymous unless you wish credit to be given.

How to take a screenshot (Windows):
1. Push the Print Scrn button. (On my laptop keyboard, you have to hold down Shift to activate it.)
2. Open Windows Paint.
3. Paste (Ctrl-V).
4. Save the file.

How to take a screenshot (Mac):*
1. Think happy thoughts.
2. Frolic.
3. Lick the screen.
4. Isn't life grand?
*All Mac users were born knowing how to take screenshots.

How to take a screenshot (handheld):
1. I have no idea, but if you do, that would be awesome. (Come to think of it, a photo would work, too.)

This request expires the morning of Wednesday, September 10th. Mahalo!

Sent ya some grabs. NetNewsWire is great, as is Google Reader. Whatever I use, it must have a mobile version that syncs with the desktop version (these do).

Mac users aren't born knowing the screenshot. There's a nice app called Grab.app - it only saves .tiff files though. I use ImageWell constantly to scale, crop, illustrate, and send screen grabs. Most useful for blogging.
